An impact basin or impact crater is defined as the circular depression in the surface of a solid body in the solar system such as moon or some other planet. A lunar impact basin is a depression / cavity caused by a meteor or comet hitting the Moon with a greater speed. Impact basins typically have raised rims and floors that are lower in elevation than the surrounding surface.
There are over 40 impact basins on the Moon. These basins were created by extremely powerful impacts, which usually cracked and deformed the lunar crust and eject a material over a huge area. These basins often have many rings of ridges.
Craters come in two forms; Primary craters are created by an object formally in a heliocentric orbit and, secondary craters are formed
